This really is a v2 of this patch:

https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/11663271/

with an extra preceding cleanup patch to avoid making unrelated
changes in the
[2/2].

I applied this series along with
[PATCH] cpufreq: intel_pstate: Fix EPP setting via sysfs in active mode
on 5.8 latest master (On top of raw epp patchset).

When intel_pstate=passive from kernel command line then it is fine, no
crash. But switch dynamically, crashed:
Attached crash.txt. I may need to try your linux-pm tree.

Then after some playing I reached a state when I monitor MSR 0x774:
while true; do rdmsr 0x774; sleep 1; done
80002704

Don't have a recipe to reproduce this.

Almost the same as before, but the first patch has been reworked to
handle
errors in store_energy_performance_preference() correctly and
rebased on top
of the current linux-pm.git branch.

No functional changes otherwise.

One more update of the second patch.

Namely, I realized that the hwp_dynamic_boost sysfs switch was
present in the
passive mode after the v3 (and the previous versions) of that patch
which isn't
correct, so this modifies it to avoid exposing hwp_dynamic_boost in
the passive
mode.

The first patch is the same as in the v2.

Thanks!
